8. Sugar Farming Club Projects 



Where any one of the types of sugar farming discussed 

 is a practical industry the school may well be organized 

 into a club for the purpose of translating the theory of 'the 

 chapter into definite practise at home. If the club be organ- 

 ized in the sugar beet, sugar cane, or sorghum cane, the 

 area should be one acre; if in maple sugar production it 

 may involve the setting out and management of a certain 

 number of trees, or the care and management of from ten 

 to one hundred trees, and should include tapping; also the 

 manufacture and sale of sugar products. The maple sugar 

 club project and tree or wood-lot planting work will make 

 a fine combination. The basis of award for the contest in 

 the club project may be as follows: 



1. Yield per acre 3D 



2. Profit on investment 30 



3. Exhibit and quality of products 20 



4. Story and record of club work 20
